Notes

Adam Void is an artist, musician, writer, wandering poet, public nuisance, and a simple man. He’s been playing music and self-releasing rudimentary 4-track recordings since 1999. For the past five years, he has dug deeply in the sonic culture of his native Southern Appalachian mountains, while filtering that wild water through a sieve of noise music, broken instruments, punk attitude, and tape hiss. This process, when heated by an open flame and distilled through a cooled copper coil, can produce some of the strongest rocket fuel you ever tasted… Good ol’ mountain dew.

American Accents commits theft from almost every corner store American music grab bag. Some fruits are ripe for the taking, others were plucked while green and all too soon. Southern folk music and country & western, gut bucket blues and proto-rap rhymes, sloppy punk and abrasive noise attacks, hardcore breakdowns and emo whining, all of this gets coated with a hard candy shell of pop rock and 90’s sentimental lo-fidelity production. This album should catapult Adam Void as a headliner at the next Reading Festival, Roskilde, Newport Folk Festival, and International Noise Conference. However, it will probably just be heard by a small handful of troubled souls and disappear into the digital realm with all the other momentary tastemakers that come and go with the algorithm’s dispassionate whims. Either way, everyone is thankful to Almost Halloween Time Records for sending these sounds into the interdimensional ether like a golden record on a government op space scandal.
